Assam: Sarbananda Sonowal says public support for NDA reflects rejection of ‘failed politics’

A CORRESPONDENT

DIBRUGARH: Union Minister of Ports, Shipping & Waterways (MoPSW) Sarbananda Sonowal launched a sharp attack on the Congress, saying the overwhelming public response during campaign rallies in Naharkatia and Sadiya reflects a decisive rejection of the opposition’s ‘politics of neglect, division and inaction.’

Campaigning in support of BJP candidates Bolin Chetia in Sadiya and Taranga Gogoi in Naharkatia, Sonowal said that the strong turnout and enthusiasm at rallies underline people’s growing confidence in the BJP-led NDA and their resolve to move away from what he described as Congress’s ‘legacy of underdevelopment.’

“People have not forgotten how Congress kept regions like Sadiya neglected for decades. They have not forgotten how Congress imposed draconian laws like IMDT to rob indigenous people of their rights, for the benefit of illegal immigrants. Today, the same people are coming out in large numbers to support development, stability, and accountable governance,” Sonowal said while addressing a rally at Dangari under Sadiya constituency.

The senior BJP leader said that the response from voters reflected a clear mandate for progress and a rejection of ‘outdated politics that failed to deliver even basic development.’

Sonowal addressed public meetings at Mahmora and Kamar Gaon in Naharkatia LAC and Dangori in Sadiya LAC.

“The people of Sadiya have taken a firm stand to defeat forces that ignored their aspirations for years. They want growth, infrastructure and opportunities — not empty promises,” Sonowal said in Sadiya. Targeting the Opposition further, Sonowal said that the Congress had lost credibility among voters due to its ‘history of corruption, neglect and divisive politics.’

Meanwhile in Naharkatia, Sonowal said, “The enthusiasm and support we are witnessing in Naharkatia clearly show that people have rejected Congress politics. The NDA’s model of peace, unity and development has gained widespread acceptance,” he said.

Calling for a decisive mandate, Sonowal urged voters to strengthen the NDA to ‘protect Assam’s future and ensure that the state never goes back to the days of neglect and mis-governance.’
